We have already “in public and in private” which occurs in almost all of the “warmhearted” suttas—except for AN 10.50 which has a different set of qualities altogether. Adding
warm-hearted quality | warmherzige Eigenschaft
This one occurs in two contexts which have the same term in English, whereas for German I need two separate ones:
@Georg, sorry for the delay in response. I’m having trouble with notification settings.
Thank you for the new adventure with “manifestation”. I had not bumped into that line of study before and it’s opened up new horizons! In particular, one of those suttas is MN28, which I had not read before. Indeed, after reading MN28, I found yet another example. I added “equanimity based on” to the examples.
I only find SC search useful for definitions. That’s actually one of the reasons why Voice has its own search. I could not find find anything useful with SC search. Blake is working on a new search algorithm for SC that uses ArangoDB. Interestingly, it returns the same results as Voice and scv-bilara. I hope he releases that new search soon so that all may use SC with greater ease.
Quite so. And the IDF for “root” is also probably quite low. However, the IDF for “root of suffering” is probably quite high. That is the magic of example phrases.
Awesome! That would explain why I saw it and had no recollection of adding it.
Unfamiliar with Ajahn Sona, I looked him on YouTube and found his 2008 talk on “20 years as a monk”. It was hilarious to hear his insight about backpacking, “this is all one needs.”
My goodness that’s long for my head.
Perception is a grasping aggregate, so proliferation follows perceptions like a plague.
MN18:18.1: When there is no eye, no sights, and no eye consciousness, it’s not possible to point out what’s known as ‘contact’.
I just added “simile of the saw” to the examples. This finds three suttas and is notable because it is an example of a use of an example in the suttas.
See? Examples are important!
MN28:9.5: But the Buddha has said in the Simile of the Saw:
For the curious, the ebt-site/ebt-data repository mentioned by Anagarika Sabbamitta is aiutomatically generated from the published branch of bilara-data. Ebt-data is about 1/5 the size of bilara-data, which makes it faster and easier for programs to use. It is also a good place for examples, which should not clutter up bilara-data.
I have added some examples from MN 140. I haven’t translated that Sutta yet, which is why the German ones sometimes are “…”:
the interior earth element | das innere Erdelement
train only for peace | …
heat is generated | …
grasp at anything in the world | ergreift man nichts in der Welt
feel it detached | …
end of the body approaching | Ende des Körpers nahen
an oil lamp depended on oil | …
become cool right here | hier auf der Stelle kühl
letting go of all attachments | Loslassen aller Bindungen
stray cow took his life | …
“train only for peace” is a singleton. I added it because I find it particularly inspiring. The whole sentence reads:
Don’t neglect wisdom, preserve truth, foster generosity, and train only for peace.
“stray cow took his life” also occurs only in MN 140. I added it because I find it important to be reminded that accidents can happen any time—this is probably what was considered a traffic accident at the time.
ud5.3:7.2: But soon after Suppabuddha had left, a cow with a baby calf charged at him and took his life. ud1.10:10.2: But soon after the Buddha had left, a cow with a baby calf charged at Bāhiya and took his life. MN140:35.2: But while he was wandering in search of a bowl and robes, a stray cow took his life.
MN 119:8.3 It’s as if a deft butcher or butcher’s apprentice were to kill a cow and sit down at the crossroads with the meat cut into portions.
MN 10:12.3 It’s as if a deft butcher or butcher’s apprentice were to kill a cow and sit down at the crossroads with the meat cut into portions.
MN 146:11.1 Suppose a deft butcher or their apprentice was to kill a cow and carve it with a sharp meat cleaver. Without damaging the flesh inside or the hide outside, …
DN 22:6.3 It’s as if a deft butcher or butcher’s apprentice were to kill a cow and sit down at the crossroads with the meat cut into portions.
Yes. That’s what makes “cow life” useful since it also finds this:
AN7.74:8.2: In the same way, life as a human is like a cow being slaughtered. It’s brief and fleeting, full of pain and misery. Think about this and wake up! Do what’s good and lead the spiritual life, for no-one born can escape death.’
A mendicant with defilements ended can’t deliberately take the life of a living creature, take something with the intention to steal, have sex, tell a deliberate lie, or store up goods for their own enjoyment like they did as a lay person. And they can’t make decisions prejudiced by favoritism, hostility, stupidity, or cowardice.
DN 29:26.8
Oh. What do you think of “like a cow” as an example?
MN57:2.1: Then Puṇṇa Koliyaputta, who had taken a vow to behave like a cow, and Seniya, a naked ascetic who had taken a vow to behave like a dog, went to see the Buddha. Puṇṇa bowed to the Buddha and sat down to one side, while Seniya exchanged greetings and polite conversation with him before sitting down to one side curled up like a dog.
This one has a few interesting results. The eyelashes have already fascinated me in DN 30 . But there are also a few “like a cowherd”, and “like a cowpoke”.
One that I like is
AN5.162:5.7: Why don’t I get down on all fours and drink it up like a cow, then be on my way?’
. But there are also a few “like a cowherd”, and “like a cowpoke”.
